How to load an image into an Xcode 9 playground?

Question

I've spent hours trying to simply gain access to image data in my Swift Playground. I've followed many tutorials that recommend adding a resource folder as a sibling dir in the dir. your playground is in. Or to drag images into the Resources folder in the playground Navigator. Nothing has worked. What do I have to do to load an image view in playground?

Answer 1

I solved this problem on my side when I

1. import PlaygroundSupport
2. mark Resources Folder and tap + icon
3. Choose Add files to 'Resources' and choose your image (here: image.jpg)
4. Instance your image via let image = UIImage(named: "image.jpg")
